After the Cloister Bell rings, the Doctor begins to question who or what Martha really is. They are attacked by a Clockwork Droid and a Voc Robot. The Doctor and Martha escape. Martha hands the Doctor a cravat from his [[Eighth Doctor|eighth incarnation]] and the Doctor begins to tell Martha about that life.

The Doctor was alone in a prison cell on an unnamed planet, wondering whether the [[Last Great Time War]] was still being waged, when the cell door opened and the [[prison guard (The Forgotten)|guards]] threw a new prisoner into the cell. Sixteen days later the Doctor and his new cellmate, [[Chantir]], saw through the cell window a spaceship land. The Doctor said it was time to escape. The Doctor slowed his heartbeats to almost nothing and Chantir called in the guards. The Doctor and Chantir overpowered them and stole their laser weapons. The Doctor opened all the other cells to allow the other prisoners to escape.

They travelled to the end of the hall and blasted open the door. Inside, [[the Great Key]] stood on a pillar in the centre of the room. The Doctor picked it up and told Chantir he planned to use it to recreate the [[De-mat Gun]] and possibly even modify the original to increase its lethality to remove millions from time and space at once. The Doctor and Chantir escaped from the prison by sliding down a power cable on the outside wall of the prison. Chantir left the Doctor to find his crewmates and the Doctor walked a few miles to recover his [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]].

* The Doctor indicates that "no one alive" knows about all nine of his past incarnations. The implication in this statement is that Martha Jones is either the first companion to become aware of the first 10 incarnations (if one takes into account [[Amy Pond]], [[Rory Williams]] and [[Jackson Lake]] viewing the Doctor's past incarnations through holograms in ''[[The Eleventh Hour|DW: The Eleventh Hour]]'' and ''[[The Next Doctor|DW: The Next Doctor]]''), or that the Doctor believes that anyone else (companion or Time Lord) who is aware of it is now dead. [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart|The Brigadier]] is the closest to knowing all of them, having met the [[The Three Doctors|1st]], [[The Web of Fear|2nd]], [[Spearhead from Space|3rd]], [[Robot (TV story)|4th]], [[Mawdryn Undead|5th]], [[Business Unusual|6th]], [[Battlefield|7th]], [[The Dying Days|8th]], and [[The Warkeeper's Crown|10th]] incarnations.
